Cruise Industry News has published its 2026 Cruise Ship Secondhand Market Report, a comprehensive year-by-year record of known criose vessel sales, charters and transactions.

Independently sourced and researched, the report tracks how ships have changed hands across more than four decades of cruise industry history.

The 2026 edition includes the latest data; ship transactions in the report include cruise line, ship, tonnage and passenger capacity, plus terms where available.

There is also a dedicated Retirement Data section, with year-by-year tables covering ship withdrawals and retirements.

Each entry details the vessel, its former names, the operating cruise line, tonnage, passenger capacity, year built and relevant notes, giving readers a clear picture of the ships leaving service alongside those changing owners.

Delivered instantly as a downloadable PDF, the report requires no waiting for mail and is fully digital. An optional Excel addendum is also available, providing all report data in spreadsheet form, organized by year, along with a separate file dedicated to ship retirements.

The 2026 Cruise Ship Secondhand Market Report is available now.
